CHRISTMOSAS
PUNCH
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Add turkey, breadcrumbs, garlic, green onions, egg, sesame oil, soy sauce and water
chestnuts. Mix with your hands until combined, make sure not to over mix.
Grease a baking sheet with oil.
Portion out 24 meatballs (working with slightly wet hands helps).
Place meatballs on the oiled baking sheet and cook for 15 minutes or
until fully cooked, flipping halfway through.
Take out of the oven and toss with the Asian sauce.
Serve immediately and garnish with green onions
and sesame seeds, if desired.
Note: If you are freezing the meatballs do
not toss with sauce until ready
to serve.
Lobster
Deviled Eggs
Yield 24 halves
Ingredients
1 whole lobster or 2 frozen tails
1 dozen eggs, hard boiled
4 tablespoons of mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons of chopped scallions
Steam the lobster or lobster tails until the shell is bright red, about 8 to 10 minutes.
Remove the meat and dice it into 1⁄2 inch chunks.
Halve the eggs and reserve the yolks. Mash together the yolks until very smooth and then add in the remaining ingredients, except for
the lobster. Then fold in most of the diced lobster meat, reserving 24 pieces. Pipe or spoon the mixture into the egg whites. Garnish
each egg half with a little piece of lobster, a scallion and a sprinkling of smoked paprika.
